I couldn't eat two lobsters all by myself ;-) ..... Don't think that by the time that the polls open on Election Day that there will be any rock left unturned by the Republicans. Problem is that they aren't turning anything up by trying. Perhaps the best we can hope for is that the Republicans themselves crawl back under those rocks and get out of our life ;-) ......

Would Michelle Obama really need TWO lobsters by herself? I thought that was a bit suspicious. So I did a bit of checking. The docket from the Waldorf is dated 15/10 at 4pm. http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/18/a-little-snack-for-michelle-obama/ Michelle Obama was in Fort Wayne Indiana campaigning at 1pm on the 15/10. I will say no more. But quite a bit comes to mind. Let's wait and see how the facts come out on this one. http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/rickscalf/gGgb9Y Deary dear me.

So the way is clear for the Repubs or their surrogates to run ads portraying Michelle Obama as a greedy parvenu already living it up at the taxpayers' expense, and she hasn't even got hold of the White House silver yet! The elites will scream, but the blue-collars might well react badly to such self-indulgence in the midst of economic downturn. I'd do it if I was in their position.
